Details

There are no lions native to western Mexico, but the Huichol (Wixarika) people were introduced to them through the Spanish. This is an interpretation of the animal using glass beads attached over a papier mache form. Artist Miguel Díaz hand presses each bead individually using beeswax as a kind of glue to create the intricate patterns and colours that you see here.

A very handsome character!”

A gorgeous and meaningful artwork. The beadwork is meticulous. The patterns and colours are mesmerising and vivid. And best of all it looks exactly like a jaguar! I love it and will treasure it. I also appreciated the wonderful wrapping and presentation, which meant this item was received in the UK in perfect condition. Wonderful. Warm cheers to Mexico!
